Built Environment Infection Prevention Initiative (BEIPI)
The purpose of the Built Environment Infection Prevention Initiative (BEIPI) is to reduce the burden of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) by embedding infection prevention principles into the planning, design, construction and operation of healthcare buildings. BEIPI seeks to bring together professionals across IPC, NHS capital and estates, procurement, manufacturing and the healthcare design and construction industry to foster collaboration, openness and create safer spaces for occupants by influencing policy, education and communication.
